So apparently they are making a CG movie based on The Goon comics by Eric Powell that Dark Horse publishes.

The movie is being produced by Blur Studio, produced by David Fincher and written by Eric Powell. Clancy Brown will voice The Goon and Paul Giamatti will be Franky. Most of those names mean nothing to me, but perhaps they mean something to you.

I have actually never been a fan of the comic (not that I dislike it, just never read it), but the movie looks great. Might give the comic a try. Anyway there’s been a couple of teaser trailers released, and they are awesome, so give them a look.

It shares a title with a book I really loved, On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers, but it doesn’t seem like it shares anything else with the book except for the most basic of concepts and the character Blackbeard.
